Ducks rookies lose finale, 5-2

The Ducks dropped the final game of rookie tournament series against San Jose, 5-2, on Wednesday night at Sharks Ice.

The loss completed a sweep of the Ducks by the Sharks in the three-game tournament.

Dan Sexton scored in the first period and Maxine Macenauer pulled the Ducks to 3-2 before the Sharks got two goals in the third period.

Goaltender Sebastian Stefaniszin took the loss for the Ducks.

"This week has been a good learning experience," Sexton said in a release. "We learned a lot of new systems in practice. The first couple of games I think it took us a little while but once we started having fun and realizing it's just hockey and not over-thinking it, we were a lot better off."
